lordandgodoftheobvious:(Source.)[ID: first image: infographic made by Jewish Voices for Peace, titled “Native Land Dispossession”. The top half is composed of four maps of the territory currently claimed by Israel, dated to 1918, 1947, 1960, and 2021. The bottom half is composed of four maps of the territory claimed by the “lower 48,” a plurality of the territory currently claimed by the US, dated to 1492, 1790, 1830, and 2021. In both series land controlled by natives is colored black while land controlled by settlers is colored white.[Second image: tweet thread by @jvplive.
